Release notes

0.1.0 — early-access preview

July 2026 · first public build

The first preview release, and it arrives with the whole workshop rather than a teaser:

• Single-file projects — a project is one .ewriter file you double-click, copy, and back up; or a plain folder of text files for version-control workflows. Atomic saves, automatic crash recovery, and clean conversion both ways.
• Writing — full rich-text editor with styles, tables, footnotes, and embeds; focus, typewriter, and distraction-free modes; page layout view; project-wide find & replace with regex; autocorrect and smart punctuation.
• Worldbuilding — the codex with custom categories and fields, automatic name and alias linking in prose, entity galleries, merge/split, state-over-time, and user-defined continuity rules.
• The validating timeline — custom calendars, eras, lifespans, uncertainty, relative constraints, and multiple reckonings, with conflict detection for two-places-at-once, lifespan violations, and impossible travel.
• Maps — regions, routes, pins, tokens, battle grids, progressive reveal, and travel validated against the timeline.
• Screenplay mode — Fountain editing, industry pagination, coloured revision pages, Final Draft round-trip, and production breakdowns.
• Research — sources with APA/MLA/Chicago citations, BibTeX import, an in-app PDF reader with quote capture.
• Spreadsheets & charts — a real formula engine, cell formatting, CSV round-trip, embeddable charts.
• Planning & analytics — plot threads, beat sheets, corkboard, kanban, submissions tracker, goals, sprints, pacing and readability analytics, exportable health reports.
• Import/export — imports from Word, Scrivener, yWriter, Obsidian, Notion, Manuskript, and plain text; exports to DOCX, EPUB 3, PDF, standard manuscript RTF, Markdown, Fountain/.fdx, and a searchable static website.
• Bring-your-own AI — chat, inline assists, canon-consistency checking, semantic search, agents, and image/speech generation against any OpenAI-compatible endpoint you configure, with per-object opt-out and cloud redaction.
• Extensibility — JavaScript macro console, C++ plugin API, custom themes, rebindable shortcuts and toolbars.
• Languages — English and a complete Spanish translation.
